Problem

The region enclosed by the curves r=3sin⁡θr=3\sin\theta and r=1r=1 is to be analyzed. Which symmetry can most effectively be used to reduce the amount of computation needed to find the area of this region? a) Symmetry about the polar axis (xx-axis) only b) Rotational symmetry about the origin through an angle π\pi c) Symmetry about the line θ=π2\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{2} only d) No useful symmetry is present; the integral must be evaluated over 0≤θ≤2π0\le\theta\le 2\pi
